Every Police Detective or Medical
Examiner needs a villain to chase week after week – right? Who better than another immortal with an
agenda. However, what exactly is his agenda?
In the first episode, a mysterious
caller wants to know how Dr. Henry Morgan has managed to survive the subway
crash. Certain that this shadowy someone knows his deepest secret, Henry
decides to run. Lucky for the viewers, Abe talks Henry out of it.
And so begins the battle between
good (Henry) and evil (Adam).
I had to ask myself why this
second person who claimed the same immortality as Henry didn’t want to meet him,
compare notes, and claim a kinship that might help both men find a way out of
their current circumstance. After all, neither man is actually looking for
death. Each man merely wants to age
gracefully and eventually die.
So, why then did Henry and Adam become
instant enemies? Re-read my first
sentence. Forever needed a villain.
And who better to play Adam than BURN GORMAN. Born in Hollywood and raised in London, Burn
is a man of many facets. He has donned many
roles over his acting career from the gentle Rev. Marley in Larkrise to Candleford to the scarred
German officer, Colonel Skorzeny, in Walking
with the Enemy. You may remember him as Trask in Revenge or Karl Tanner in Game
of Thrones.
Of course, to Forever Fans, Burn
Gorman will always be Adam, the immortal enemy of our Dr. Henry Morgan.
As always, I remain -
